    When I feel it appropriate, I do. More often than not, what I edit is something that people obviously know are personal attacks. We're adults here. We generally know when we behave inappropriately. We generally don't need to be informed.

    If your comment was, "nobody cares to hear your thoughts on Neil Olshey", which have obviously already been clearly elucidated, that'd be one thing. Your statement, however, was broad and completely undefined, encompassing everything he thinks, ergo, personal, and not a commentary on a post.

    Again, I'm sorry you disagree, but that's the way I see it.

    @Carmelo Anthony is a member here, so I'm going to have to delete this post.

    But I'm not going to tell you why.

    Which is EXACTLY why someone should've told me why my post was deleted. It wasn't over the top. It wasn't egregious.

    So now, one of the more benign things to say, "nobody cares what you think" is over the top and requires deleting...

    Jesus...

    We call people whiners, cucks, and snowflakes in this forum without anyone batting an eye....

    We are all adults but we are also all human and individual and what one person sees, maybe another doesn’t. This has nothing to do with good bad, better or worse, but could possibly be due to simple ethnic or childhood raising differences that lead to different views and opinions on the definition of a personal insult.
    Someone’s upbringing could dictate their threshold on this.

    I would think for the benefit of the doubt, if a post or multiple posts are deleted, at least a quick message, “hey I deleted your post, just trying to keep some peace,” would also help to alleviate further complications?

    I know it may be more time consuming, but hey, I didn’t sign up to be a mod. :)
    I have mad respect for all of you and i think you all know that. Just offering up suggestions that I think might help you defuse flames on more than one level.

    Why do you think he's talking about @Carmelo Anthony ?
    He didn't tag him, nor did he use his name.
    Melo could be an abbreviation for Melon as well as many other things.
    This is another poor modding choice. Just like Sly's was to publicly show I had two posts deleted by Stren, when it was actually only one. Because I made the decision to word it differently(aka delete myself) in order to stay within the rules of the forum.

    Good call. He was probably talking about Rodney Dangerfield's character from the movie "Back to School". My bad.

    Now you've gone too far! I don't care what the rules are, no mod should defend Melo!

    It's his own fault for not including Portland on his trade list.

    Edit: Thankfully!

    The mods have to defend Melo; we all know he won't defend himself, or anyone else.

    True but don't you think out of all the posters here he should be banned due to this thread being his fault?

    I thought all Carmelo threads were @HCP's fault, due to his propensity to post blurry airport pics.

    On that note, I like your logic.

    Well. Melo's a ring chaser here. Harden was an MVP this year. They have CP3. I mean superteams are kind of a bandied around term that has no real clear definition.

    What I don't get is Melo playing for D'Antoni…..they had an ugly divorce in New York

    I don't get why anyone would want him now. This feels like a desperate move by Houston, who probably already missed their limited shots at a title.

    Just so glad he isn't a Blazer next season.
